In the form of the invention illustrated in Fig. 1, the bag B is shown as formed of a substantially tubular piece, in blank, having a longitudinal seam 2, the bottom end of the bau being-closed by lnterlapping and overfo ding lof the tube end in any suitable and preferred form of manufacture, as indicated generally at 3. The interiorfof this bag is divided into two separate com-partments by the introduction of a fly sheet 5 which is shown as of a length substantially equal 'to 4the length of the unfolded tube of which the bag -is formed, that end of the partition or fiy sheet 5 which is adjacent to the bottom-forming portion of the 'bag being paste'd or otherwise attached thereto as indiprovides, but a' single receiving oompartcated at 6. Suitable edges o the ily sheet 5 ment or chamber in its interior, and it is one are shown`as pasted into the interior of the bag preferably adjacent the fold line at the such pasting being ofthe objects of the presentinvention to provide a bag having a plurality ofcompart# sides of .the folded bag, ments, and further to provide a method for', .indicated at 7 and in order that the separate manufacturing the bag. compartments on each side of the partition It is andther object of the present invenor iyjleaf 5 may be of substantially equal tion to provide a bag having a partition .or ,width to the wid'th of the folded bag, the fly sheet extending preferably from one side Vpartition is pasted along one of its edges tothe other of the folded'. bag and 'permaas indicated at 7 and has along its opposite 4nently attached thereto, and thereby not' edge, as at 8, a narrow marginal fold which onlyl form a bag having a plurality of reis pasted to the side of the bag which is opceiv-ing compartments, but also providing a posite to that to which the opposite edge of bag whichis reinforced and greatly strengththe fly or lpartltlon 1s pasted. It will be seen cned by the introduction of the partition or in this form of the inventlon that when the fly leaf. bottom is folded at the end 3, the lower With these and other objects -in view, as will rbe rendered manifest in the following specification, the invention consists in the construction, parts, and in the arrangement of parts more fully hereinafter described, the invention being illustrated in its differentembodiments in the accompanying drawing, in which, v f

Figure 1 shows aform of the lbag provided with apartition, *or {iy leaf, or sheet' permanently attached to the bag around both pf jits edges and across the bottom of the ea v Fig. 42 is a perspective view partly in section,of a form of the bag' showing a -ily leaf or sheet extending from the top or mouth end of the bag to the bottom thereof and To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that L-JAMES MONROE SMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shelbyville, in the county of Shelby and have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Bags; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact ldescription of the invention such as will enable others skilled in` the art toV which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to receptacles, and more particularly to Ipaper. bags.v A u Ordinarily paper bagsare constructed substantially of tubular form having one end folded over to form a closed bottom', the opposite end of the bag being open to orvtion of the fly or partition sheet 5 is folded along the'line 3 and'therefore forms a portion of and reinforces the bottom of the Referring to thel invention illustrated in Fig. 2, the 4ilysheet orpartition 5 is shown as extending from the top or mouth of the bag to the bottom thereof, at which 'portion it is provided with inwardly folded corners 5a forming a transverse bottom portion or fiap 5b which is approximately as wide transversely of the ba as the bottom 3 thereof. 1.00 The partition or y sheet 5', in this instance, may be secured by pasting or otherwise along its longitudinal edges to the inside of the body ofthe ba adjacent the fold lines at the side thereo the lower portion 106 of the ily or partition sheet and the bag being mutually foldable upon each other when the bag is collapsed by bending or overlapping in folding relation along the line IB.4 extending transversely acrossV the rior of the bag, and A Fig. 3 'is a perspective view of theform of the bag, a portion of. whlchris4 broken away,

bag and from the ends of which, the corners of the partition as above described, are folded inwardly as at 51. When the bag is opened for use, the inner or false bottom formed by the end fold opens outwardly along the fold line 5 extending across the folded corners of the fly portion.

A somewhat less expensive form of the bag is constructed as shown in Fig. 3, by fastening Within the body of the bag a Hy or partition sheet 5 which extends from approximately the upper end of the bag t0- ward the lower portion thereof but terminates at about' the transverse fold line 5 so that this form of ily leaf is not provided with any portion extending transversely l across the lower part of the bag.

This fly leaf may be attached to the interior of the bag, adjacent the fold lines thereof, by any suitable means, as by pasting along one of the sides thereof.

What is claimed is:

l. A paper bag comprising a'tubular body having longitudinal fold lines, and a fly or intermediate partition of a greater width than the folded bag, a marginal portion of l the partition being pasted along the inside of the bag adjacent to the fold, and the opposite marginal portion extending to the adjacent fold of the bag and being folded back, the folded lip being pasted to one panel of the bag, the inner or bottom end of the partition being folded to form an inner or second bottom.

2. A paper bag comprising a tubular body having longitudinal fold lines, and a fly or intermediate partition `of a greater width than the folded bag, a marginal portion of the partition being pasted along the inside of the bag adjacent to the fold, and the opposite marginal portion extending `to the adjacent fold of the bag and being folded back, the folded lip being pasted to one panel of the bag, the inner or bottom end of the partition being folded to form an inner or second bottom, the margin of the .inner or bottom end of the partition being `pasted to the adjacent margin of the tube end. In testimony whereof I aix my signature.

JAMES MONROE SMITH.
